Is The “Clod War” Back?

The new tariffs influence

Recently we heard about several actions the U.S administration started implementing on the Chinese market, one with more countries such as Canada/Mexico/U.K/EU/Russia/Iran/Turkey/Japan – suffering new tariffs and an ongoing concern from using economic sanctions as leverage against free trading agreements such as NAFTA/TPP etc…
